Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

charming scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

When Charming MCP tools are available, build with the tools directly. Do not use `curl`, `fetch`, shell HTTP calls, or the raw HTTP API for app creation.

Charming

Overview

Use this skill when the user asks to create an app with Charming, edit an existing Charming app, connect the Charming MCP server, or inspect Charming-generated app source.

Charming is a hosted service that generates, hosts, and updates small interactive web apps. Each app gets a real URL, persistent storage, and inline rendering inside MCP Apps-capable chat clients. It has two authoring paths:

  • MCP tools (preferred): use this path whenever Charming tools such as create_app, update_app, list_apps, or get_app are available to you.
  • HTTP API (fallback): use only when Charming MCP tools are not available and you have outbound HTTP access.

Connect

Charming is a remote server; there is nothing to clone, build, or run locally. Add the endpoint to your client's MCP settings:

Client Endpoint
Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and most MCP clients https://charm.ing/mcp
ChatGPT the Charming listing in the ChatGPT Apps directory is one click; https://charm.ing/mcp/chatgpt is the Developer Mode fallback

Charming's MCP endpoints always require a bearer token. OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration bootstraps one automatically on first connect: clients that support it show a one-time consent screen, with no API key to paste. Anonymous creation with no token is available on the HTTP path only (POST https://charm.ing/app), and an unclaimed app has a 7-day TTL until someone claims it. To mint a token by hand, use device pairing: POST https://charm.ing/api/pair/start, then poll. Full auth guide: usecharming.com/auth.md. Per-client paste-strings and setup steps: usecharming.com/clients.txt.

MCP workflow

When Charming MCP tools are available, build with the tools directly. Do not use curl, fetch, shell HTTP calls, or the raw HTTP API for app creation.
